I ran out towards GU corner and then down into the riverbottoms once I was down in there I did my two mile loop and then headed  back to GU corner... My legs did pretty well until I had about 3 miles left and then I just hit the wall and I felt like I was walking, it was brutal! After I got back to GU corner I did another  mile loop back to GU corner and then stole some Gatorade from the Spanish Fork boys & girls and then started to make my way back home. My wife Cindie came out to check on me just to make sure I was still alive and she brought me some more Gatorade which was welcomed, after a brief hello and goodbye I tried to finish up and I did. My average pace was 8:53 with my heart rate average at 140 total time was 2:04:33 not real fast but I Got-R-Done... Passed all the Spanish Fork dudes and dudette's planned it just right again so I didn't get Chicked, so that was a plus! Next week will be a reduced mileage week, probably 10 to 15 percent, but I will have to see how I am doing before I make up my mind, it might be closer to 20% after the way I'm feeling right now!

See ya Monday.
